The Team

tony patron

co-founder / managing partner

Tony Patron is an owner and co-founder of EarthBaby. After searching for an environmentally friendly diapering solution for his two children, he realized very quickly that the only options out there were cloth and disposables. After trying both, Tony and his wife Amanda decided there had to be a better solution and EarthBaby was born. Tony was determined to complete the cycle from cradle to compost. For Tony and his family, EarthBaby is the solution that completes the cycle.

Prior to EarthBaby, Tony was an Engineering Director at IDEO's Palo Alto headquarters. He lives with his wife, son, and daughter in Mountain View, CA.
